The conservator of the deceased Bobbi Kristina Brown claims in an amended lawsuit that Nick Brown, the partner of Whitney Houston's daughter, gave Bobbi Kristina a toxic cocktail and afterward placed her face down in a tub that was full of cold water.
It amends the original lawsuit that Bedella Hargrove, the court-appointed conservator, filed with the Fulton County Superior Court on June 24. The lawsuit accused Gordon of assault battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and transfer of money from Bobbi Kristina's account to Gordon's without authorization.
Hargrove added wrongful death to the amended complaint that she filed on Friday, following the death of Bobbi Kristina at age 22 in late July after spending six months in hospice care. The complaint states that Gordon and Brown argued in the kitchen which continued in the living room and master bedroom, reports USA Today.
Gordon, who came back from a cocaine and drinking binge the night, accused Brown of cheating during the 30-minute argument. After the incident, it was quiet at Brown's house in Georgia after Gordon allegedly gave her the toxic cocktail that caused Brown to lose consciousness. Her being dunked in a tub of cold water caused brain damage Bobbi Kristina, the amended complaint states.
After 15 minutes, a house guest checked on Brown and found her face down in the tub. Besides being unresponsive, she had a swollen mouth and a tooth hanging loosely. The loose tooth was the result of Gordon allegedly punching Brown days before January 31. He continued the attack while Brown was on the floor, not only hitting her but also kicking her, Hargrove states.
At that point, Gordon came into the bathroom, drained the water from the tub and ordered a clean up. He then tried to resuscitate Brown and called emergency. Brown was revived at the North Fulton Hospital and was later placed in a medically induced coma.
The lawsuit sought at least $10 million damaged each for the three charges and another amount, to be determined by the court, for quantum meruit/unjust enrichment, plus lawyer's fees.
Reuters, however, points out that the amended complaint uploaded by 11Alive, an affiliate of NBC, did not have a stamp as proof that it was filed. The news wire service tried to contact Jose Baez, a Miami lawyer listed in reports as Gordon's attorney, but could not reach him on Friday for a comment on the amended complaint.
